Run Report (The Agony of Defeat) 2008-08-10 21:17:59 I spent Friday night with cold sweats, the shakes, and a sore throat. Saturday, my fever broke, but I still had the throat problems and no energy at all. I wish I could have rested more, but Husband had obligations, so I had to watch the babies (which is so hard when you're sick). All that aside, I got up at 4:30 in the morning and headed downtown for my race (half marathon).Seriously, I am standi

Award, Meme, Award, Award 2008-08-07 16:57:33 Alright, I suck. I suck, and I know it, and here's why...I have been given some wonderful awards, by some wonderful bloggers, and I just never get around to giving them out:P Are you like me? I always have posts rattling around in my head, and I never get around to them...just like I never got around to the award posts...I feel bad about it, so I'm fixing it NOW!First up, P from Life is Better Wit Read more:Award
Gossip, just pointless gossip... 2008-08-07 15:49:59 I can gossip here, right? It's just running group gossip...but I'm curious what you think. OK, remember Aussie Girl who got married after two weeks? Well, Brazilian Doctor Woman told me she got a ride home from Aussie Girl. Miss Thing drives a Mercedes...a Birthday present that her Husband bought her in the two week dating period! Let me say this again, they were dating TWO WEEKS, and he bought he
Another Movie!?! 2008-08-04 22:25:23 What...you saw another movie!?! Yes, Sissy and I schlepped downtown and saw another movie. What movie, you ask? The Mummy Tomb of the Dragon Emperor...yes, The Mummy! I know, not deep, but still fine holiday fun in my book. There is one spoiler in here, as usual, I will type it in white...if you need to know, highlight.You get what you pay for with this one. Fun CGI, lots of action, not much plot,
Run Report...& Winners! 2008-08-03 21:52:53 Well, it was a tough run Saturday. We did 12 miles in a place called "The Hills". Guess what, it was hilly! I ran up hill, after hill, after hill. It was hot, and humid, which I hate. I was chased by two dogs, which I hate. I almost beat the girl with the target on her back, but I didn't. My coach did say he thought I was getting faster, which is good.Here's the problem...I can feel it in my bones Read more:Winners
A Guest Post With a Question... 2008-08-01 21:45:24 I have never done this before, but a fellow Blogger who insisted on being anonymous, desperately wanted to post something on her blog. The problem is...too many people in her neighborhood are aware of her blog, and she didn't want to get tangled up in more drama, so she asked if she could air her grievances here and get some opinions from the clever bunch that you are! Now what kind of Blogger wou Read more:Guest

X-Failure 2008-07-31 22:30:05 First, can I just say group hug to all of you? {{Hug}} You guys are great! I was so impressed with all your comments on the last post. You all are so smart! Now, moving on...Can I tell you how disappointed in the X-files movie I am?!? What a stinker that turned out to be:P I'm just going to spill it, and as usual, all spoilers will be typed in white so if you wanna know, highlight...I am not a rab
Blogging=Narcissism? 2008-07-30 16:37:28 I have had something stuck in my craw for about a week. What better place to share than here...on my blog. Last week, I got an email that said..."I am so confused...I don't understand blogging...if you need to talk get a shrink...or just become an alcoholic...you can talk to the bartender and watch the game at the same time..."Then they added this..."I dont know why people want to air there BS liv Read more:Blogging

Good question:) A $50 gift certificate on their site!Have you checked out Good for the Kids? "Angie started this website offering products to nurture babies, engage children, and decorate women." They really offer some great products...everything from fabulous wooden toys to BPA free cups and bot
Run Report 2008-07-28 16:17:04 This weekend was a "cutback" week. That means only 10 miles, that's the good news. The bad news was that my ten miler was a race at the Twilight Zone uphill loop:P I was nervous about this race...the course is really tough. I hate running uphill!I kid you not, this was a race for runners in the know. We drove 40 minutes out of the city to the forest preserve, and it was like a Dead Show for runner
Holy, AMAZING, Batman!!! 2008-07-24 09:22:25 Where to begin...where to begin? This movie (Dark Knight) rocked the hizzau!!! I just got home, so I am still reeling from it's awesomeness...I'm diving in, but as usual, any spoilers will be typed in white text. Highlight if you want to know...First up...Heath Ledger. I truly am speechless. The most AMAZING performance I have seen all year! Truly, truly brilliant. When he looked across the table Read more:Batman
Nekkid! 2008-07-23 09:22:36 Alright, let me start by saying...I'm wound a bit tight on this subject. I am not a naked person. I don't walk around without any clothes on...ever. Maybe, when I was single girl, I had the occasional naked day. But now, there are way too many people coming in and out of this house to walk around with no clothes on!Flash forward to a three year old in the throws of potty training...and life is on Read more:Nekkid
McSwayze! 2008-07-21 16:53:45 OK, I have never mentioned it, but The Bro is in TV. He is a big time editor...So big time, that McDonald's is sending him to the Beijing Olympics (Story for another day)!I'm not sure if I have mentioned this, but I am a bit of a Colbert Report fan. Combine Colbert Report with access to really awesome video editing equipment (plus a rainy day), and what do you get? My submission to the Green Scree
Stuff n Nonsense (and a Run Report) 2008-07-21 14:11:01 While the cool kids were in S.F. partying it up at BlogHer, I was back home torturing myself. I got up Sat. morning at 5:25 and was greeted by pouring down rain. You gotta be kidding me, another long run in the rain...c'mon! So, we (coach, Dr. Woman and I) drive out to the forest preserve for our 14 mile death march run. I kid you not...it never stopped raining...never!I ran 14 miles in driving, p Read more:Nonsense

! I am so floored by the fact that my little baby is three years old...She was just over five pounds when she was born. I remember bringing her home and being so afraid to hold her. I thought I was going to break her. How can she be three!?!Six months ago, in the middle of a snow storm, one of the tires on our stroller blew out. We just happened to be by the
Run Report 2008-07-17 21:42:58 Well, last night was tough. First off, it was brutally hot. Second, we did a 15 min warm up, followed by 6, 2 minute at 80 percent 3 minute at 50 percent, then a 15 min run back to base. I hate these! It is so hard to go all out for two minutes:P Especially when I am battling it out just to not be last. I just don't get how these people are soooo fast?To top it off, there was a new girl in the gro

Coming Out of the Closet 2008-07-16 15:11:30 This, is my dirty little secret...It's not pretty, and it has been hiding behind closed doors ever since we moved to the townhouse. Yep, this is all the crap we didn't feel like dealing with after the move. We just stacked it all in the downstairs closet, shut the door and never looked at it again.After the knock down drag out fight discussion Husband and I had the other day, I needed to make some Read more:Closet
Poor Poor Pitiful Me... 2008-07-14 21:51:13 Did you ever get so pissed off that you can't see straight...let alone make sense? Husband just made me so mad today!!! I can't go into detail, it's family stuff, and that is one of the downsides to everyone having access to your blog...but, it is my blog so I am going to rant a bit. It just seems that I am the only one who bends. Everyone else marches merrily along in happy land, and I trudge alo
Enjoy the Beach? 2008-08-24 21:36:45 I am sitting here, in a cabin just off the beach. Most folks would consider this Heaven. I do enjoy the beach...I love watching the kiddos have fun...They love the beach:) I have never been much of a sun/beach person. I don't know...give me a ski resort any day of the week.Here's what kills me. No (yes no) TV, and really just the tiniest bit of internet (teeny, tiny). Currently, the internet has t Read more:Beach
The Next Michael Phelps? 2008-08-21 21:26:32 Miss Peach has really taken an interest in Mommy's running...She talks about it all the time. She even sits on my lap and watches the Olympics with me:)Miss Peach: "Mommy, I am fast...watch me run." (this of course is while wearing my running cap and watch) She hops off my lap, and runs around the dining room table and back to me."See how fast I am?"Me: "Yes, Miss Peach you are very fast...well do Read more:Michael

Shhh...I Cheated 2008-08-20 22:40:49 Yes, I cheated. Don't tell my running group, but I ran with another group this evening. I just think that speed work is essential to getting faster. Don'cha think? My group just keeps running up hills.Yes, I see the merit in that, but it seems to me that you can't just do that! I see the benefits of doing both. I don't know why my coach doesn't see it that way...but he doesn't. So...I jumped the f
